The major steps involved in viral entry are shown below.

Two main methods of viral entry have been identified: transneuronal spread and hematogenous spread.

The G glycoprotein is important for viral entry into the host cell.

Even microscopic abrasions on mucous membranes are sufficient to allow viral entry.

In epithelial cells, lytic replication often directly follows viral entry.

The presence of cellular receptors permitting viral entry.

The first stage of the viral life cycle is called viral entry.

This is often called viral entry.

The drug inhibits viral entry into target cells, and also stimulates the immune response.

This prevents viral entry to the target cell, and therefore protects it from infection.
